I think people who are horrifically abused as children and then start to repeat the same thing to their own offspring or to others, you start to see evil inherent. That's what the Catholic Church feels is necessary to exorcise, to cleanse.

I love Hollywood films and when they're done right, they're great. At the same time, I think it's always hard to come on to something that preexists.

Success can create amazing opportunities but it can also bring a set of confines which make your decisions a little murkier.

For me, the filmmaking should serve the story, first and foremost.

It goes without saying that there's a great deal of evil in the world, and there's a great deal of benevolence or good in the world. I think the choices that people make and the paths that people take in terms of how they explore their lives ultimately is what dictates which side of the coin you fall on.

We all have nightmares, we all wake up, we all have certain ideas of something that could be hiding around the corner and the question of does that really exist, but we get on with our lives.
